that are supported by the application.

8.3.2 Viewing the Audit Trail File

The Cisco MGM Audit Trail Viewer records activities across the four applications (Configuration Center,

Chassis View, Statistics Reporting Tool, and Diagnostic Center) in a persistent file.

Note Audit trail logging is done per Cisco MGM workstation and each workstation performs an independent

audit trail file. There is no communication or synchronization between workstations regarding an audit

trail.

Using the Audit Trail Viewer, you can access audit trail files for specified days, and you can sort, filter,

and search for specific log entries. All readand write activities are monitored and logged to a file. To

open the Audit Trail Viewer, complete the following procedure:

Step 1 From the Cisco MGM Domain Explorer window, choose Administration > MGX 8880/8850 MG >

Audit Trail.

Note If no NE is selected in the Domain Explorer, the Audit Trail option will be grayed out.

from the Configuration Center, Statistics Reporting Tool, Chassis View, or Diagnostic Center:

• Choose Tools > Administration > Cisco MGM Audit Trail

• Right-click on any object in the Hierarchy pane and choose Administration > Cisco MGM Audit

Trail

Step 2 Enter the fields.

Note Table 8-3 describes fields in the Cisco MGM Audit Trail Viewer.

Step 3 Click Submit to submit the specified criteria for the log file.
